True. SC is killing it with the 4th worst GDP/capita in the U.S., beating out such economic powerhouses as Mississippi, Arkansas, and Idaho. And that includes all the federal dollars they take on from federal aid and military spending.ip_law-hokie wrote:Better off in more prosperous states like SC.UpstateSCHokie wrote:If you're running in a swamp land states like NY, NJ, and VA, then yes.

As compared to SC, I disagree. But that is not really the point.
Uppitty asserts that VA/NY/NJ is low info. I've seen studies that say NJ has the most educated work force in the nation. I'm sure that NY/VA rank above the norm in the same category. South Carolina? Glass houses.
Uppity calling these folks low-info, on the whole, because he doesn't agree with their view is, unfortunately, par for the course.

With their Cap’n and Chief Intelligence Officer having deserted them, River, Ham and Joe valiantly continue their whataboutismistic last stand of the DJT apology tour.

All jokes aside, SC has a growing economy across many sectors. The guys in charge are doing a good turning around what has been a poor state for a long time.awesome guy wrote:It's a retirement community now, it's where wealth will go and be spread via spending instead of production.HokieFanDC wrote:True.

But calling other states low info, when you live in one of, if not the, most poorly educated states in the U.S, is laughable.
